  new altera single work item barrier check

This lint check is a part of the FLOCL (FPGA Linters for OpenCL)
project out of the Synergy Lab at Virginia Tech.

FLOCL is a set of lint checks aimed at FPGA developers who write code
in OpenCL.

The altera single work item barrier check finds OpenCL kernel functions
that call a barrier function but do not call an ID function. These
kernel functions will be treated as single work-item kernels, which
could be inefficient or lead to errors.

Based on the "Altera SDK for OpenCL: Best Practices Guide."
